Thanks for the link Dawsey.

Was there myself in November, but stayed in another hotel for the last 10 days.

Not being a doctor, does anybody know hoe Legionaires affects people? can it be passed between two people or does it only affect the poor soul who contracted it?

Sounds mild compared to what my boss got from being down in India drinking the wrong kind of water.. He got some kind of worm in the liver, they had to put a tube in and empty the liver from that worm thing. His blood also got poisoned by that worm, not sure how it happend but it happend. He had a 40~c fever for 2 weeks and he had constant antibiotics to get it down, he's ok now but damn, im never gonna drink any water that is not straight from 7/11 while in south east asia.
